While the deadline has been extended, presumably because of the delays
in selecting presentations and notifying authors (and in defense of the
program committee, with a call for papers issued very late, they are
majorly accelerating the process), I would encourage anyone who needs
assistance to apply as soon as possible, before their paper is accepted,
if that's what they're waiting for.

I would hope that if you want to attend the summit to present a paper,
you would also want to present the summit even in the event that your
proposal was not accepted, after all.

Cheers,
Dave.

 Summer of Code students have started inquiring about GUADEC travel
 sponsorship, though very very few of them are Foundation members.
 Since I won't be attending GUADEC, I wasn't really on top of the
 deadlines.  :-/
 
 Should they follow the same process to apply for sponsorship, with the
 same deadlines?  The community bonding period has just started and
 we're still getting them all rounded up on the list, etc.

They should follow the same process and deadlines.  And they should
mention they are GSoC students in their applications (as some of them
already did it).  Be aware that processing applications later means
sponsoring more expensive tickets and probably less people.

However, nothing is written in stone.

Kind regards,
